The Truth About Pick Up Lines - Can They Get You Girls?
When you talk about picking up girls, a lot of guys assume this involves using a "pickup line" to approach women and try to start a conversation.
The art of approaching women is one of the most important things you can learn to improve your dating life - and sex life. It requires confidence, and the ability to be a smooth talker, to approach women, engage them in a friendly, interesting conversation, and get their phone number. If the thought of randomly approaching women and striking up conversations makes you feel anxious, I understand that this process can be hard at first, and I've been there myself.
If you're going to experience more success with girls, you first have to get one, and that starts with approaching them. Approaching women is something that most men are afraid of. Most men would rather have a fight with a UFC champion than approach a woman. If this is how you feel, then you should change your ways so that you can start having the success that you desire.
What you need to know is that your fear of rejection can be overcome, and it can be overcome simply and easily. Maybe you're reluctant to approach hot girls because you're worried about rejection, or that something could go wrong -- but hey, guess what? That's life, and things do go wrong! It really doesn't matter in the long run. What matters is that you have the confidence and courage to walk up to that hottie, introduce yourself, and take a shot.
Practicing in the mirror, and performing some mental exercises, is one way to build up your confidence with approaching women. Talking to yourself in the mirror will allow you to see how you look and to build up the confidence you need to approach someone. If you can first be comfortable with yourself, then you will more than likely be comfortable with talking with a woman too.
Don't bother listening to any "expert" who says it's possible to seduce a woman within seconds of meeting her. I don't recommend trying this as this is the fastest way to get a drink thrown into your face. But when you do approach a woman, you need to have no fear of rejection. Not being intimated of rejection is a skill that you need to develop, and you can begin by walking up to women and asking them a simple question.
For instance, you should practice walking up to women and asking them a genuine question. Your question could be if they know what time it is or if they know where the nearest fast-food restaurant is. This will help you to get into the habit of naturally approaching women so when the time comes to ask a woman for her phone number, it won't be as difficult to do.
Your chances of succeeding with women are going to skyrocket if you can get past your "approach anxiety" and fear of rejection. Keep in mind that when you're practicing these techniques, you shouldn't only try to approach beautiful women. You can walk up to any girl and ask her where the nearest mall or supermarket is. You may be surprised that some women will strike up a conversation with YOU.

A lot of men wonder whether
pickup lines to use on girls can be helpful when you approach women, and if they actually get you laid. When you picture a guy using pick up lines, you probably see some cheesy wanna-be player, his shirt unbuttoned to reveal a gold chain and a furry chest. He's prowling the bar or club, ready to approach women, his beady eyes scanning the club for his next target.
He approaches a woman...eyes her up and down, like a hungry wolf eyeballing a slab of meat...and delivers a corny pick up line that causes her to roll her eyes (or throw her drink in his face).
It might be a pick up line like one of these...
"I sure hope you know CPR, because you're taking my breath away."
"Would you mind loaning me a quarter? [What for?] I want to call my mom and tell her I just met the woman of my dreams."
"Hey, can I borrow a map? Because I keep getting lost in your eyes."
"Somebody better call God, cuz he's missing an angel -- so what time do you have to be back in heaven?"
"You owe me a drink, miss. [Why?] Because the moment I saw you, I dropped mine."
"I'm new in town -- could you give me directions to your apartment?"
"I play the field, and it looks like I just hit a home run with you."
"If I followed you home, would you keep me?"
"Is there an airport nearby or is that just my heart taking off?"
"I was so mesmerized by your beauty that I ran into that wall over there...I'm going to need your name and number for insurance purposes."
Now, not all pick up lines are THAT tacky. I'll give you a few examples of cute pick up lines that I've successfully used to approach women. The key is to follow them up with something more clever (I'll give you some of these "transitions" in a minute).
"Wouldn't you and I look adorable on a wedding cake together?"
"Can you pull this heart-shaped arrow out of my back, because a little kid with wings just shot me."
"Your daddy must have been a baker, because you've got a nice set of buns."
"You must be a hell of a thief, because you stole my heart from across the room."
(Note: Don't use this pick up line on women who are extremely attractive and KNOW it. This one is effective on a girl who is attractive, but is clearly NOT the best-looking girl in the place.)
Now here's the next type of pick up lines. I call these...
Pick Up Lines That Could Get You Slapped In The Face
When you are approaching women, use this last type of pick up line with extreme caution. A woman with a sense of humor might find them amusing, but you also run the risk of getting hit or having a martini tossed in your face. (Especially if her boyfriend the UFC fighter happens to be standing nearby.) Like I said, be careful...
"Do you know what has 142 teeth and holds back the Incredible Hulk? [What?] My zipper."
"That outfit would look great...in a crumpled heap next to my bed."
"That's a nice set of legs, what time do they open?"
The Truth About Pick Up Lines
But are all pick up lines only good for laughs? Would any REAL pick up artist deign to use them? I've written several popular books on how to pick up women, which teach many different imaginative approaches to starting conversations with girls. And personally, I think pick up lines are usually way too obvious.
I teach a style of approaching women that I refer to as "going under the radar". This means you use a clever, unexpected question or comment to get her interest and engage her in a conversation without telegraphing that you're hoping to get her into bed. Essentially, you're "breaking the ice" in a way that feels fun and non-threatening.
For example, when you approach a woman you might ask for her opinion on an unexpected topic -- one that women are of course going to have strong feelings about.
Opener #1: "Hey, I have to get back to my friends but let me ask you something real quick -- would you freak out if your boyfriend was invited to a bachelor party and you knew there would be strippers at the party? Because my friend Jennifer is sort of freaking out about this right now."
Opener #2: "Hey, help me settle a debate I'm having with my friends. How long do you need to be dating someone before you change your status on Facebook from "single" to "in a relationship?" Because my friend Jennifer has been going out with a guy for a month and SHE thinks it's an exclusive thing, but he hasn't changed his "single" status and she's wondering if she should say something..."
These methods of approaching women are especially effective because they're based on what I call "relationship grey areas." Men and women tend to have their own ideas about what's allowed in a relationship, and what is unacceptable. Here's another line you can use when you approach women: "does it count as cheating if a guy has lunch with his ex-girlfriend, and doesn't tell his new girlfriend about it?"
When you approach a woman, your goal with the opening line is to get a positive response that makes her want to talk to you further. And if you're a confident, playful guy, this one always gets a fun reaction:
"Do I look gay? Because this guy was TOTALLY flirting with me in the men's room a minute ago. Be honest, is it my shirt?" (Or, "is it the way my butt looks in these jeans?")
I wouldn't classify those as pick up lines. But does this mean pick up lines are, by definition, a bad thing?
In some situations, I have used some of the pick up lines I gave you above -- and because I was able to transition into a fun conversation, I was able to get the girl into bed that night!
I showed a sense of humor by "confessing" that I had used a corny line to try to pick her up. After delivering it, I followed up with "I realize that probably sounded like a pick up line...but I want to talk to you for a moment and I couldn't think of what else to say. By the way, you can call me Dean..."
Then from that point, I used my usual methods -- I asked a series of fun, thought-provoking to get her in a fun mindset, and sharing information about herself...I used tactics such as Teases, Hypothetical and Cold Reads and throughout the conversation, I managed the flow and hit the right buttons to make her feel curiosity and attraction.
The truth is, you can get away with using a super-cheesy pick up line and actually make women laugh (in a good way). It's all about knowing how to smoothly switch into the conversation, and never taking yourself too seriously.
Or, you can always use this:
"You're so cute that you made me forget my pick up line."
(Girls always find that one cute and funny!)
Now, before I explain how to FOLLOW UP and get her to start feeling curiosity and attraction, I have to warn you about something...
